I don't think it's gonna be Nintendo at all.

Rabbids is still my guess. Or Frogger, if Konami isn't dumb.

Either way, prepare for "Minions in all but name" for the former and "Not Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures" for the latter...

Carrie Fisher has passed away.

I only got into Star Wars last year, but even I know how sad of a loss this is.

Rest in Peace, Carrie Fisher.

I'm just gonna say that Rabbids Invasion is already a show Nick made.

Y'know I don't see why everyone keeps going on about #****2016 when it could have been any year where these mass celebrity deaths could have happened. Are we going to start a #****2017 hashtag if the same thing happens next year? It just seems so dumb TBH.

That being said it's sad to see anyone pass away of course.

I just got back from seeing Rogue One when I heard about Fisher's passing. Incredibly sad to hear. Do check out the film if you have not. I think it would be a solid way to celebrate her legacy.

Since Christmas is over, seems like it's time for a new avatar.

I'm having a tough time deciding but I think I'm going to stick with this adorable picture of Acerola for now. She is one of my favorite characters from Sun and Moon afterall.

Carrie Fisher has passed away.

I only got into Star Wars last year, but even I know how sad of a loss this is.

Rest in Peace, Carrie Fisher.
Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher. You will be greatly missed.

It saddens me just thinking about how we probably won't be seeing her play as Princess Leia in Star Wars Episode VIII. She was outstanding in that role.

It's understandable but this is a year than just celebrity deaths and from tragedies, attacks, bad weather, horrid politics and it feeling like a let down in other things have been kinda rough for the year.

That said a lot of amazing things happened this year but it isn't the worst year ever or even the best to some.

2017 does seem more and more hopeful and joyful than now than ever for me

RIP Carrie Fisher.

She's a childhood icon for many who grew up watching Star Wars including myself.
May she be one with the Force.

On a different note, I was in the Source Gaming Discord and this massive switch/Nintendo rumor showed up:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...ghIEk4mg/preview?pageId=106616208938932224254
BluePikmin compiled it after the reddit thread was deleted.

I don't buy it because of all this info one guy has, but also cause of Detective Pikachu 2 and no mention of Sonic 2017.

It's worth the read though. Has some Ideas I'd be down for like a Overwatch port with an exclusive Nintendo character, or Soul Calibur with Link again.

It also mentions that the Nick show is a super mario bros show with Peach, Mario, Luigi and Captain Toad as the main characters. Which would be pretty neat.

> Stars having new Pokémon and new Alola forms despite the former being unprecedented and the latter not making sense in-universe.
> Disney making Switch games despite getting out of game making.
> Nintendo-exclusive Overwatch character despite that alienating the fan base, most of which wouldn't play the Switch version.



Well that's a load of bull****.

Oh god...I just read more of that "leak."

The Disney thing is slightly more reasonable now that they said they're getting outside companies to do it...and then they added the Tsum Tsum thing. Tsum Tsum that are also amiibo would be a licensing nightmare. No, the Skymiibo aren't comparable.

Who knows? :3
I heard the news about Carrie Fisher's passing; it was very shocking to hear about, honestly. I had thought that she would recover in the hospital after being in stable condition, but it seems like this did not happen, and my condolences go out to her family and friends. :(

I was going to go see Rogue One today as well before I heard about this. However, I will still go in her honor and the legacy she left behind despite admittedly not having watched much Star Wars myself.

Kinda makes me fear for my grandfather, who was rushed to the hospital at the same time as her and has been recovering

He's got the flu, and apparently that's really bad for his heart which isn't strong

The only thing I could see happening is a Super Bowl commercial for the Switch (which would be stupid of Nintendo not to do).

Also:
>Sonic 30th Anniversary Bundle.
>30th Anniversary
Wat.

Well that's a load of bull****.
To be fair the OW thing isn't too unbelievable. It needs someway to sell a Switch version.


It does have some believeable things like EA Anywhere and Bandai-Namco/Capcom's plans but Persona 5 being on Switch and Sonic's 30th Anniversary is ****ing fake as all hell especially when Sega would have dropped that collection THIS YEAR

It doesn't really need to make sense. Look at B2W2 for example. In BW, Pokémon native only to Unova were present, but in B2W2, in a span of two years, a load of new Pokémon from other regions were added, despite the fact Unova is very far away from other regions- hence why BW had an exclusive Pokédex in the first place.

Not trying to justify this rumor though, because while possibly, its still a hell of a long shot, but it *could* happen.

I think it's definitely unbelievable.

Overwatch is one of the most successful new IPs in recent years with how many fans it has and how big its esports presence is. Blizzard also takes fan feedback very seriously with Overwatch. To make a character exclusive to the Switch, which wasn't even one of the platforms Overwatch debuted on, would be an uncharacteristic slap in the face.

Overwatch on Switch would sell just because it's Overwatch. The most I can see it getting, exclusivity-wise, is maybe some purely cosmetic things like a costume or two. DK tie Winston or something.

I can see Nintendo exclusive costumes coming to a Switch port of Overwatch. Something like Tracer dressing as Mario.

But not an exclusive character.

I think we could get new Alolan forms in the next game, we got new Megas in Hoenn despite Sycamore saying 'why is Mega Evolution exclusive to Kalos?" and we've gotten new forms between games in a generation before even going as far back as Deoxys. So I think other Pokémon adapting and then being discovered for the next game is a definite possibility, especially since it seems other new forms are already in the cards via things like Lycanroc's third form being discovered in the data.

New Pokémon I'm more skeptical about since by design, GF seems to prefer to leave them for the start of a new Generation. It doesn't mean it can't happen in the future, but it's something that doesn't have as much precedent as with new forms.

Carrie Fisher has passed away.

I only got into Star Wars last year, but even I know how sad of a loss this is.

Rest in Peace, Carrie Fisher.
I just heard about that, that really stung to hear about after how this week has gone.

RIP Carrie Fisher, you were a huge part of my childhood through your role in Star Wars and I will always love the work you have done as an actress.

Saltybet has been glitching out on the exact same match for hours and hours on end.

On the bright side, I turned it on to listen to music while I finally work on Splatoon ranked, so now I don't have to be tempted to bet while I'm busy.
